    On balance, Roja makes good fragrances notwithstanding price and who the real perfumers may be. Good review, I enjoy Oceania as well. Also, not that compliments matter but this is very pleasing to one’s surroundings as well.

      @@RamseytheRam keep it up brother. It takes a lot to nerd out (in a good way) on fragrances the way you do them. It comes natural to you.
      Also another note on Oceania, I enjoy it precisely because it lacks a marine vibe (ala Tom ford Oud minerale for example).

    Bingo! Petrichor! That has been my olfactory association and classification of Oceania from the beginning. Here is my review of Oceania on Fragrantica:
    "The best petrichor "after the rain" scent I've yet smelled. Not a true maritime/oceanic scent like EROLFA, which is the best of that oceanic genre (best "salty sea spray" scent) ever. Oceania is the freshly wet concrete of the marina after a rain shower moved through before you get in your sail boat and get underway. The rain stops, the sun comes back out and the rain water starts evaporating in whafts up to your nose, mixing with the scent of the nearby flowers and greenery."
    Very nice characterization.

  • @saaduddinghalial-isawi-oy7jf

    Great review Brother ❤ Oceania is really feels classy and fresh but it’s not so aquatic as the name suggests
    There is something in Oceania, that is to share with Ambre Topkapi from MDCI
    Which is the classic character with freshness.
    But this one is more freshy and continue in light freshness while Topcapi becomes more deeper in dry down

    I compleatly agree about xerjoff being descusting and sweet everything from xerjoff is literally aimed at kids or teens exept pikovaya dama, but even that I would say is aimed at a younger girl with no accountability. There are a few nice scents from xerjoff but they all smell out of place in real life situations... roja on the other hand, some of them could have a little more projection but apart from that they fit luxury everyday life perfectly and u guess a real luxury person dosnt want to smell overbearing. Roja is a 9/10 or 10-10. xerjoff sits down at mid range for me at a 4-6/10

    Ram's new motto: "At least it's not sweet" 🐏 Just think - how many young humans are being born into the world today where sugar, synthetic florals and woody ambers are the basis of mainstream perfumery...conditioned to believe that this is not only the gold standard, but the best we can do. That same conditioning could also make them averse to the artistry of the past, especially once our generation humbly bows out. What a drag. In addition to visual art and music being taught in elementary schools, olfactive art should be a requirement. At the very least, as a survival tool.

      @@RamseytheRam By that time, everything will be molecularly 3-D printed locally and you can recreate your own Antaeus for the simple cost of the molecules! One step away from direct-neuronally stimulated olfaction as part of the holo-realities we're already building. You can even set up your own "Ramspace" perfumery after scanning all your perfumes, that I'd be eager to visit as part of a global quantum net without wires, electricity, EMR or computers. 😁 Welcome to the future.

    I have some Roja (Diaghilev, PDL3) but this is not one of them.
    Oceania is a decent commercial-styled creation that fulfils its job as a lemon-centric musky citrus and does nothing else, with zero reasons for the dollar asking price.
    The extremely long notes list is not reflected in the finished product at all. This is a trope of Roja Parfums, to confuse the consumer with endlessly large pyramids in an attempt to argue its luxury. About 60% of the materials should be omitted in marketing, I doubt they’re there, and even a perfumer can’t smell them.
    Oceania is ok and lasts for 5-6 hours. But there are plenty of better value choices out there. I’d advise smelling it, comparing it to its competitors, and spending your money elsewhere.
    Lately, I'm wondering if Roja is even part of the creative process and instead is just the charismatic, extrovert, the public face of the brand while the actual work is done by someone else behind the scenes. I guess that's an argument for another day.

    Great review but for the first time :-) I profoundly disagree. Elysium and many other Roja creations (Danger, Fetish, Great Britain etc ) are high quality and original creations. Occeania does not smell niche or posh at all. To me, it smells generic and missing any kind of natural ingredients.
